Hi Vacko,
My sister is taking high cdb cannabis oil, has stage IV breast cancer. Shes not quite up to a gram a day yet, even though it is low THC, it is really hard on her. It leaves her unable to drive, to really leave the house much, just low low energy. She-s been taking the oil for about 6 weeks more or less. Her latest CA 27 29 tumor marker test came back really elevated, it jumped from the mid 700s to just over 1000 in one month. Her markers had been stable at around 700 for several months, so we are worried. We are wondering, and hoping that the elevated markers are from cancer cell die off, and that it is working.
I was reading your post from 2012 about your wifes markers also going up. I searched further in the forum and didn't find any further updates on her treatment. In the subsequent months did her markers continue to rise, did they begin to go down as she continued with the oil? Im really interested in hearing any further updates, if you dont mind sharing. There is very little out here online that Ive found about stage 4 breast cancer patients taking the oil, what they experience, how their cancer reacts. We are really worried and looking for shared experiences.
thank you
Victoria

My wifes story goes like this: 2004 dg breast cancer hormone positive, HER neg.(full medical treatment chemo,etc...), March 2011 metastatic breast cancer (tripple negative) on her bones. My wife did CT scan today and the results came clear. All organs and bones are clear from new mets. She did 3 radiotherapy treatments on her bones in last year. All organs clear all the time.
Only thing is that her tumor markers came higher than usual. Her CEA 15 3 was usually around 25 (30 is the limit) and today it was 53 and her CEA marker came higher 1.4 and usually it was around 0.3 (0.5 is the limit).
We are worried since her markers were always bellow limit. This is the first time that her markers went sky high.
Her oncologist suggests two options:
1.) Wait 6 weeks and make another blood tests to see if the markers are going up or down
2.) PET CT next week

My question is if anybody have experienced this that RSO showed false results on tumor markers or this is just that the dead cancer cells are leaving the body and they are still in the system or something else.
She had around 50 g of oil in 3 months period + Budwig diet from April 2011.

Any suggestion will be helpfull

Vacko
